I AGREE high mileage cars are worth noting, but and its a big but these seem to be the gems in disguise in regards to running them. When i went and picked mine up from MG Rover specialists they said to me, customers who were collecting their cars mostly MGTF sports cars stated oh you got a Rover 75 tourer in the workshop then! which the mechanic said yes we do all MG Rover vehicles here

to which the customer replied that's in great condition, can't have done much miles on that, to which the mechanic said, you may want to check the miles on the clock mate that ones been to around the world 13.5 times and still looks that good!
customer response Ruddy heck i hope my TF will look as good as that at that mileage!! mechanic response NOT A CHANCE IN HELL you own a TF not a 75!
THE BUILD QUALITY ON them is second to none from Rover.
true statement and even the mechanic said to me the very high mileage cars by definition tell you they are good, i said why?

he said if theres tonnes of miles on it then its been on the road and trusted to do those runs and of course it cant put miles on if its bust! LOL
I thought that goes without saying but he's right.
